Abstract:

We propose the term Coordination Support to denote the services
offered by the infrastructure used to deploy Multi-Agent Systems (MAS).
In fact, these services provide a means to enact the coordination
model defined in MAS design. We detail Coordination Support's
functionalities and group them into different layers. Furthermore
we extend them and propose an additional Assistance layer devoted
to assist coordination rather than to enable it. Assistance's
functionalities range from providing information --about the coordination
model and its state-- to adapting agents' organisation.
